At Little-Persia we collect and deliver hand-knotted rugs for professional cleaning, restoration and repair throughout the UK from our Glasgow gallery. We focus solely on handmade rugs, giving you the peace of mind that your rug will be given the level of care and attention it deserves.

Decades of experience in handmade carpets allow us to give you expert advice on the level and intensity of cleaning your rug should go through; sometimes older or more fragile rugs cannot withstand the same processes as newer, harder-wearing rugs, therefore each rug's cleaning journey is tailored to its specific needs. Before cleaning begins we go through a consultation process to explain what can be expected from the cleaning of your rug.

The benefits of using our specialist cleaning system over a company that clean rugs and carpets in the home are many. Firstly, and most importantly, the steps we take to remove hard and ingrained dirt and dust before cleaning is actually the most important step in the rug cleaning process and is completely overlooked by most. Without proper dusting the best that can be achieved is a surface wash. Of course when having your Persian or Oriental rug cleaned it is important for the rug to look fresher, however, the health of the rug has got to be the priority. It is this fine dust and dirt that wears away at the foundation of the carpet, damaging the fibres of ther foundation over time. Without removing this, the rug is not truly clean and the lasting benefits to its lifespan are not gained. Also, if the dust and dirt are not removed prior to washing, the rug can often look dirty again very quickly. This is called 'wicking' and is caused by the dirt and dust in the foundation moving up the clean top section of the pile making the cleaning results short lasting.

We use the highest quality wool safe Oriental carpet shampoo, cleaning products and materials, specifically designed for high quality wool and natural dyes. Removing colour run from a careless wash is difficult and costly (if possible), so it is best to get it right the first time. At Little-Persia we live and breathe handmade rugs, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that we take every precaution possible to ensure that your rug, or rugs, are washed with all the respect and care they deserve.
